"I'd rather trade that goal in for a win, so it doesn't matter, Anytime you play at home it seems like you create that energy off the fans. If you look at the good teams around the league — and they are the teams that don't need it — there is no excuses. It shouldn't make a difference whether we are home or on the road."

The NHL Playoffs are quite easily the most grueling and mentally draining of the North American sports postseasons. You don’t win Lord Stanley’s Cup by accident; you sacrifice everything to obtain it. Every night you play the most important game of the season, and if you don’t leave it all on the ice, you've got no shot. But as much as winning the Stanley Cup is about effort

john tortorella "He played really well in Game 7, He really didn’t have many bad games in the seven-game series with Washington. He didn’t finish. He certainly wasn’t totally on. But he’s very close, and I thought he played really well in Game 7. He’s playing, and I think he’s going to be a really big part of this as we enter into Boston."
Rick Nash "As long as we win, I’m going to be doing everything I can to try to help the team win. I felt it was getting better and better each game, but the most important thing is the team. That’s all I’m worried about."

John Tortorella wouldn't go there. He knew full well that New York Rangers stars Rick Nash and Brad Richards weren't at their best throughout majority of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against the Washington Capitals.

The New York Rangers and Washington Capitals have played an intense Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series up until this point. However, until one of these two clubs breaks serve on the other's ice, it's going to remain a little predictable. That's especially since all five games have followed a pattern at both rinks. High-scoring, defensive-mistake-prone games at Madison Square Garden; ti

Like metal filings pulled to a magnet, Capitals forwards are congregating on Rick Nash.
Rick Nash "I'm getting a chance here and there but it's a matter of working for that space, If they're going to shrink the zone even more, then I have to work even harder. I feel like I'm trying to get other guys the puck. I'll keep trying to create my opportunities and score goals and keep them out of my own net, but it's coming."

The Capitals have clamped down on Rick Nash, no doubt about it, creatively keying on the Rangers' goal machine to keep him off the score sheet through four games.    
Derek Stepan "Rick will get going, I don't think he's been not going. He's had scoring chances, hit the pipe in Game 2. When you're Rick Nash, every time you touch the puck, you've got five guys watching you. So it makes it tough for him to score goals… But he'll find the back of the net. There's no question about that."
